Northern lights: aurora borealis displays sparked by solar storm

A space weather storm that was forecast to be the strongest in five years has
fizzled out and ended up causing no impact to power grids or modern
navigation systems. A series of eruptions on the Sun this week sent
radiation and solar plasma hurtling toward Earth at high speeds but in the
end, the geomagnetic storm registered the lowest level, G1, on a five-step
scale. However, photographers did capture displays of the northern lights.
